Home to half of the world’s population and contributing a third to the global GDP, the Asia Pacific region is expected to maintain a 50% share of global primary energy demand and a 60% share of global carbon emissions until 2050. This trend is unlikely to change without strong policy action and investment. However, the region still has the potential to turn these challenges into opportunities and become a global leader in the energy transition.
Australia sees record volume of upstream M&A deals, despite regulatory turmoil
Australia’s oil and gas industry needs to urgently fast-track the creation of energy “super basins” to provide a pathway to greater sustainability and cut emissions, according to Anne Forbes, Upstream Research Analyst at Wood Mackenzie.
The energy transition will require oil and gas for decades to come, but the supply of lower-cost, lower-carbon “advantaged” barrels remain scarce, threatening emissions targets and causing upstream providers to pivot to new strategies, according to “Scraping the Barrel” a new Horizons analysis from Wood Mackenzie.
Energy super basins of the future must fulfill three key criteria - abundant resources, access to low-cost renewables and hub-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) opportunities, according to a new report by Wood Mackenzie.
Demand for long-term LNG contracts continues to gain momentum this year as large volumes have been signed and prices for oil-linked deals under negotiation are rising, according to a recently published LNG contract trends report by Wood Mackenzie.
Eastern Australia’s gas and power markets are at the forefront of Asia Pacific’s energy transition. Markets are undergoing a radical transformation, one which could see gas demand decline by 60% in 2050, depending on the pace of the energy transition, Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK), said today.
Wood Mackenzie, releases its Global gas and LNG – 6 things to watch for in 2022 report.
Australian producers need to be at the forefront of green LNG to remain competitive, says Wood Mackenzie.
Australia needs an ambitious long-term Renewable Energy Target (RET) policy to unlock future investments, says Wood Mackenzie.
Wood Mackenzie’s latest analysis reveals that sustainability and resilience will be at the heart of the oil and gas industry story in 2021.
2021 will be a defining year for the gas and LNG industry, says Wood Mackenzie in its latest outlook report.
Wood Mackenzie’s Asia Pacific upstream 2021 outlook report shows that the development of regional decarbonisation roadmaps is crucial to the future of the upstream industry.
Wood Mackenzie’s Australasian upstream 2021 outlook report shows at least US$11 billion of gas projects poised for FID in 2021.
Wood Mackenzie’s latest report shows most markets in Asia Pacific can expect to see cheaper levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for renewables compared to coal by 2030.
Wood Mackenzie’s latest analysis shows 2020 is on track to be the quietest year for upstream transactions in the Asia Pacific region since the beginning of the 21st century.
Wood Mackenzie’s 2020 Energy and Commodities Summit Asia Pacific edition kickstarted yesterday. Experts shared their views on how the energy sector is changing in light of the oil price crash, Covid-19 and the latest carbon-neutrality trends.
The energy transition is expected to be a major driver of the future of Australia’s upstream M&A, says Wood Mackenzie.
Wood Mackenzie’s latest report shows that the North West Shelf (NWS) LNG project could have up to 7 million tonnes per annum (mmpta) of spare capacity available by 2027. This equates to 40% of the project’s nominal capacity.
Using renewable energy to power liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in Asia Pacific could reduce emissions by about 8%, says Wood Mackenzie.
In its latest short-term gas and LNG outlook report, Wood Mackenzie weighs the risks coronavirus, sustained low oil prices and LNG oversupply pose to the sector this year.
The coronavirus pandemic is reducing oil demand. The OPEC+ production restraint agreement fell apart on 6 March and Saudi Arabia is rapidly increasing supply. The result: Brent crude has plunged to less than US$30/bbl. This will have a significant impact on currently producing fields and future supply. How low can the price go before different sources of production become uneconomic? Where are production shut-ins most likely? Can governments influence the result?
Wood Mackenzie’s latest analysis reveals that Australia’s next wave of LNG projects are likely to be delayed.
As global markets reel in the wake of the oil price crash, Wood Mackenzie’ corporate analysis team believes the price collapse could be the trigger for a new phase of deep industry restructuring - one that rivals the changes seen in the late-1990s.
The OPEC+ meeting broke up without a deal, what does it mean for the markets?
Wood Mackenzie has identified six themes that will impact Asia Pacific’s gas and LNG markets in 2020.
Wood Mackenzie has identified five themes related to project sanctions, exploration, M&A, energy transition and IMO 2020 that will impact Asia Pacific’s upstream industry in 2020.
Wood Mackenzie’s latest report reveals that LNG sellers with contracts linked to JCC (Japan Crude Cocktail) could lose some US$15 billion in unearned revenues. This is a result of the IMO 2020 regulation limiting sulphur content of marine fuels to up to 0.5%, which directly affects the price of sour crudes such as those composing the JCC mix. The IMO 2020 kicks in on 1st January 2020.
In the latest Australia east coast gas market research, Wood Mackenzie projects that the LNG netback price for Australia’s east coast could bottom out to A$6.50 – A$9 per gigajoule (GJ) over the next two years.
The energy transition is undoubtedly impacting corporate upstream strategies in significant and disruptive ways. Coupled with the post-2014 downturn in oil prices, Wood Mackenzie sees seismic changes in the way the industry allocates capital across development, exploration and in particular M&A.
